If you do nothing else this Memorial Day weekend, do take a short drive to your nearest cemetery. Then park the car and take a walk among all the flags and flowers. Each flag is donated and placed in memory of somebody and usually it is a veteran. Even if we have "filtered sunshine" it is a beautiful walk; go for it....... and pause to remember all who lie there.

If your desk or your office looks anything like this poor soul's (great picture I found on Google Images) then SALVATION COMETH! Box up your no-longer-needed-or-used genealogy books, things and stuff and bring them to the EWGS meeting on Saturday, May 7th, 12:30, downtown Spokane Public Library. Then you can continue your genealogy with a clean work space............. well, maybe.
